1. Abu Malik visited the graves,

    So he was like the vilest of their visitors.

  2. The nightfall prowler will weep for him;

    Foul is her breath before dawn.

  3. The daughters of Abu Malik wail

    With the Christians' trumpet and their pipe.

  4. Indeed, the hoofbeats of al-Hudhayl's horses delighted me,

    And the rubbing of Taghlib's nose in the dust in its own land.

  5. And al-Hudhayl eluded the sons of Taghlib,

    As did Jahhaf of Qays, leaving their blood-debts unavenged.

  6. You goad Qays, yet cannot endure

    The battering of wars and the harm they inflict.
